The advice given by an old housekeeper to
daughter who was inclined to find fault
with the monotony OF every day life is equally
applicable to all the duties of this world
"The most homely and uninteresting task,
said she, could be made to assume an interest,
il you will only resolve to accomplish 1t,
either within q certain time or in the very
best possible way"
Try it, mothers and daughters, when you
are Obliged by circumstances to perform some
duty which you despise from the bottom Of
your soul-Ladies' Home Journal

A RIi Fashioned Home.

There lives "a man within ten miles from
Boston whose love for the old takes a more
practical form than is commonly supposed to
exist in the present day. He has eomforta-
BILE home in the suburbs, but in IL stove has
never been placed The house is heated en-
tirely by old fashioned fire places in each
room, and the gentleman claims that IN the
coolest days in winter his home Is warmer and
more comfortable than any OF the houses OF
his neighbors, heated as they are by steam
or hot air furnaces. And further, All the
cooking for the Amily is done at one of these
same open fire places. presumably in the same
manner as il was done at the hearths of our
fathers of the, last century. And the gentle
man shifts his nose at food cooked by stove
and maintains that the old fire place Is Tar
superior, both for cooking ami heating, 10

To Get Rid Of Warts.

I removed q formidable wart from my
little daughters hand by the application Of
simple lemon juice, which Is an infalli-
BILE remedy The wart requires satu-
rating with the juice once or twice day for
three or four days, or about q week in some
cases. The wart diminishes gradually, and
disappears altogether, without pain, and
leaving no mark, and without mourning any
of the risks mentioned IN connection with the
professional processes
Another equally efficacious and harmless
method is to saturate the wart with potato
water daily for about q week; or, better still
with the froth to be obtained from the water
while the potatoes are being boiled.-Willian
Hughes in Chicago Tribune.

United Ireland says: A fine historic
figure which had for some time been
out of the public view has passed away
on the very eve, probably, of the
triumph of the great principle of which
he was foremost champion. Werefer
to the famous Father Tom O'Shea, as
he was affectionately known to the
Irish people, Canon and z. Z. of Noun
trath. The part which Father Tom
played in the Irish land sJrug-
gle is a matter of deathless
fame. At a time when Ireland
was in its death throes, so to speak,
when famine and pestilence had swept
the land and all hope was extinct in the
breasts of the farmers, he, with Father
Matthew Keeffe, stepped forward and
began struggle on their behalf which
has had hardly any intermission down
to the present day. The two ''Callan
curates" founded the Tenants Defense
Association at moment when the
Irish tenant-farmers seem to have been
abandoned by God and man, and COM
menced struggle for their rights in
the teeth of an oppression which few
men would dare to face. Even their
own Bishops were against them, and the
daring curates were punished for their
patriotism by Punishment to remote par
ishes. Still Father Tom lived to see the
cause for which he had fought and suf-
fered advanced almost to ultimate
success, and the influence which had
prevailed against him in high ecclesias-
tical quarters reversed. Of late years
Father Tom, through the weight of
years and feeble health, had been with
drawn from the arena of political strug-

"A letter from America!
o, glory be to God!

And just put down sod.
Look there's Pat Dempsey passing by,
And Jack across the way;
Call them in to hear the news, sure
My heart is hig to-day!''
And the simple felix were gathered
Round the blazing ember,
And poor Pat, the village scholar,
Read kind words and tender

You can walk among the best.

Are here at all, at all,
But houses grander far than that
We used to name the hall
But oh 1 don't care much for them,
My heart is never here
IT'S with the land where had known
Of sorrow, joy and care.
''There's nothing here at all that's like
The chapel on the hill,
Where long ago in childhood's days
Iheard poor Father Phil;
And they all seem so busy here
They never stop to greet
One with a kindly God save you
When e'er old friends will meet
"'Oh. miss them all SO sorely,
The old friends and the true.
There's none can steal into the heart
Like those that with you grew.
From boyhood's days to manhood's prime
And shared each joy and woe,
I'd freely give my life for them,
The friends OF long ago!"
"'Gods blessing on you, mother dear,
And all the folks at home.
And God be with the boys and girls
That far and wide may roam!

And send her freedoms day,
Gods blessing on the sun that lights

Your captains are already armed,
Alert stands e, cry man.
Why do We wait like COW rds alarmed,

Az sinful and unjust,
Ye scribes who won our foes applause
For mockeries of our trust,
Come now and with your SANDERS try,
Affront us if you can.
We proudly tell you in reply
Our Soggarth's in the van.
Their iro" laws let tyrants frame
To terrorize our race.

One inch we'll not retrace;
We ne'er returned a fiercer blow.

Where's he who, by their laws depraved,
Would punder to them still,
Whose soul would rather sleep enslaved,
Than bound with freedoms thrill
He is not worthy to be free
His face let all men ban,
Whose pulses do not leap to see,

Then onward firm and onward fast,
Wipe fear from every brow,
The fray is up, the die is cast,
'Tis death or glory now;

No prison, plot or plan
Will e'er again our land enslave,
